Mr Dimas described reaching an international agreement as a "formidable political challenge", but stressed that the EU is moving in the right direction ahead of the meeting.
"I am pleased with the progress we have made today, as there is only one negotiating session left before Copenhagen and it is imperative to step up the speed of exchanges at the political level," he concluded.
